Well white and pink are the power for the screen. The ribbion cable is what you need to send in like compaosite or rgb. If you have the manual it shoudl tell you otherwise you're going to have to follow traces or just check every lead to see whats what.

You may be in trouble. I doubt that ribbon cable has connections for analog video. And those power wires look like cold cathode backlight power, which needs 800V or more. Where is the screen from?

Edit: Black is ground, probably connected to the metal case. Make sure you ground that to your system.

Whoa, your saying this thing is like 2 or less inches? Unless its 2.5 to 5 inches its of little use in portablizing. Look into getting a handheld tv or PSOne screen, they have compatable voltages.
